Miller Construction (Arena Central - Not V Tower) were sponsors at a Birmingham event the other day alongside other major players in the industry that are working on schemes in and around Birmingham.

In relation to the article. Good news. Especially considering the office space was increasing from 500,000 sqft to 800,000 sqft. could see some larger buildings in and around the site. Maybe a couple of towers throughout the scheme.

(Joshwebb - don't get excited).

Can't wait to see a design. Guess we'll see something within 3/6 months.

which is the hotel on that render? i live in CP and cant wait to see the back of that nasty multi storey.

I hope with this scheme the plan is to open the link between centenary square and holliday street. It currently acts as a barrier in much the same was as the library when it really could be an extension of the city centre.

And talking of green spaces, the area in front of the Axis building with the trees is an oasis of green at the moment!!

15-20 storeys still looks tall in bham. You have to remember most other big cities are as flat as a pancake it terms of terrain-london, manchester, new york, paris etc. So buildings have to be more storeys to be taller than another building, but in bham, alike liverpool and newcastle, the terrain's inclines are all over the place (is that the right word) So you could be comparing a 10 storey and a 5 storey building and the 5 storey one being taller as it is on a hill.

Anyhow, the new Library looks monsterous, and that is what 8-9 storeys? it has dwarfed the REP and isn't far of Alpha tower height.

guys, can I ask, what have they been doing with the old ATV/Central studios? i'd seen notices for auditions a little while back and only Monday (or Tuesday) the old bank had the lights on with people moving around inside.

There seems to be lots of activity on this site every now and again and I wonder if they actually still have production facilities installed in there.

It's kinda disappointing that the current short and medium term shows a shortage of quality office space in Birmingham, and if Arena Central don't get a move on, they are going to miss any pre-let opportunities to the plans for Paradise Circus. They don't have to build V-tower now, but just do something, at least start clearing the site :-(
